#Saiki is he/they/any

[arboreal-hiding]

In the midst of a gender crisis, Saiki tries to come up with excuses for why he likes being Kuriko sometimes. He can avoid a lot people for the most part. He can take advantage of women-only promotions. He can use women’s bathrooms, which are much cleaner and, usually, calmer. Certainly nobody trying to figure out if they can clog all of the toilets and sinks with just toilet paper. Surely he doesn’t like being a girl.

Right?

I don't think there's anything wrong with liking Kusuke - I do too, he's an interesting character - but I keep coming across people who genuinely seem to think there's nothing grim about him which is like???

Yes, he did buy a house for his family, but he also riddled it with cameras (at least I assume so, judging by how he's often shown watching them on a screen).

Yes, he made Kusuo his limiters, but he also added a feature that made it impossible for Kusuo to refuse his games without his powers being exposed.

Every act of love is also a grab for control. Yeah, he isn't completely and utterly evil, but nobody is.

#I'm not denying that there's love there but that doesn't make him any more wholesome #the only sweet and wholesome thing about him is how he loves kitty cats #I know it's just a silly goofy manga so it's not that important but I like yappin #Saiki K #saiki kusuke

kusuo saiki is the type of guy to walk into his crush's room and go "thats a nice tv. bet you got a really good deal on it." and think that thats flirting

#'very modern oven. very nice.' (flirtatiously) #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #any ship #except for like saisai lmfaooo saiko did NOT get a good deal on that mf he purposely bought the most expensive one #saiteru #saikechi #kubosai #saikai #haisai #meows post

honestly one of my fav things that isn’t ever talked about with Kusuo is that he is honestly when you actually examine him, a pretty normal teenager. He’s insecure, he cares a lot about his mom and is scared of making her mad, he gets invested in other peoples drama, he dislikes PE, he hates being spoiled for things, he has an embarrassing crush that his friends judge him for, he has an awkward relationship with his dad and fights with his brother, he wants to be protected.

Like underneath all the unfamiliar stuff, he is honestly Just Some Guy.

#saiki k #this is the conclusion I have reached #This is also what’s sad about him #Personality wise stripped down to his barest components he’s nothing special #Just a normal teenager. Somewhat introverted maybe but…like that’s normal too #But he’s been born into this awful position of like. basically godhood. Something he never wanted. #Which affects literally everything he does #but like he was always under all that a normal kid #His powers didn’t make him magically more anything #Most of the weirder things about him are just the way any normal person would react to being born with those powers #He reacts normally to everything that gets thrown upon him #Idk I really love the way he was written I’d like to shake Shuuichi Asous hand one day

#kubosai kubosai kubosai #maybe #probably #i have to post more about them theyre my everything but i barely talk abt this idiots #if aren sees that he would love it #he likes astronomy i just know it in my heart #he would keep staring like the gay boi he is #saiki k #kubosai #saiki kusuo no psi nan #the disastrous life of saiki k #sorry if there is any grammar mistake and bla bla bla #thinking thinking thinking #ill be waiting for those three mutuals who are insane about kubosai #this is for them❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Did a Kusuke analysis about his relationship with his brother, it’s not very friendly toward him so be warned about that,,,

TW for mentioned abuse, everything except the physical parts, funnily enough

Honestly, I really wished I actually liked Kusuke because he’s an intriguing character and represents a developed villain whose whole being isn’t just “he’s evil.” He’s other things, and among them is caring toward Kusuo, even if it’s really fucked up. But I just can’t comfortably read his scenes because of the things he does to his brother. Everything is so normalized, even by Kusuo himself. Kusuo’s reaction to his brother literally getting off to him is one that speaks to just how normal it is to him. And that’s not even speaking about how Kusuo sometimes almost regurgitates the things he grew up hearing about himself and takes them as truth.

I think Kuniharu fucked up both his kids (and Kurumi did too, inadvertently), but I really believe Kusuke was the one who made Kusuo believe his powers made him unlovable. Like:

Come off of it, Jesus Christ.

And he fucking weaponized it is the worst part. He knows Kusuo won’t step out of line because he’s always holding the threat of exposure over his little brother’s head, and exposure = abandonment.

The reason Kusuke would never go after Kusuo’s friends is because the threat of exposure still works in that case: none of them know about Kusuo’s powers, ergo Kusuke can still leverage it. And I think that’s why Toritsuka gets roped in during the Cat Tank arc. Threatening to tell Toritsuka about Kusuo’s powers doesn’t work in this case because he already knows. So he goes bigger. He tries to brainwash him into hating Kusuo.

I really think the Cat Tank was meant as a punishment for Kusuo trying to have friends. The reason Kusuke backed off was because Kusuo threw his chance at a normal life away once he saw the trouble ‘he’ brought to them. He hates feeling like a burden, hates being indebted to people. Once Kusuke realized his usual way of incentivizing Kusuo was done (and also that he technically ‘won’ by Kusuo taking out his limiter), he realized that was the end of it.

Of course, Kusuo offering to still be his playmate opened up a new world to Kusuke. Now, he wouldn’t have to force Kusuo into it (besides maybe the occasional bribe). It opens up new avenues for their relationship to actually improve, perhaps.

#this isn’t even everything there is to say either #there’s other stuff I could talk about especially the physical aspect of it #at his core kusuo really wanted to connect with his brother again #he wanted to believe so bad that Kusuke had changed after four years #he only hated his brother because his brother hated him #its honestly tragic. for both of them #all this to say I hate him. any analysis I give is likely to be biased because of this #but I see his appeal. all the more power to his fans #especially those who accept and embrace wholeheartedly how messed up he is #saiki k #fluffy writes an essay

No matter who you ship saiki with

Platonic ships or romantic ships

I think we can all agree

That saiki is a little spoon-

🏃‍♂️💨

#i think he would be scared to be big spoon because of his powers tbh #i think he would secretly enjoy being little spoon tho #nensai #saikechi #terusai #kubosai #merasai #satousai #kaisai? #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki k #and any other ships i missed #saiki hcs

[toriavissu]

i will never get over the second part of the light novel, especially this

#saiki k #like- #he appreciates nendo sm #and all his friends #it's not the only part of the novel that i want to talk about #but i can't really articulate any other thoughts now #but this whole thing with parallel world #i love it sm #and that part with saiki fighting with himself #saiki kusuo #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #thinking

kuusuke as a character is 1 billion times better if you view his words here as genuine (like how i do) . the way you see these scenes is very important to how his character will read to you in my professional opinion

like 😕😕😕 he literally cares about kusuo so much. that’s his cute brother he couldn’t hate him even if he tried (and he knows because he DID try and that’s-) . he literally just wants to play around with his brother and have bonding time but he doesn’t know how to do that normally so he does it in his weird unintentionally destructive way but underlying everything is that familial love.

this post is so gibberish but yeah saiki kuusuke im your biggest fan in the whole wide universe….

#they’re literally siblings #the siblingest siblings to ever be created #kuusuke immediately becomes so much less likeable if you think he actually harbors any hatred towards kusuo #or worse if you in any way imply that he loves kusuo in any sort of perverted way (mangaka’s fault) #both of those are WRONG he simply loves his little brother that’s literally his cute baby brother #there’s something so deep and meaningful about kusuo and kuusuke’s relationship #and i struggle to put it into words but like. i care them so much 😭😭😭 #PLEASE listen to me im normal im so so normal #talking at 42 words per second #saiki k got me fucked up #saiki kuusuke #kuusuke #that blonde IDIOT #the blonde guy from saiki k #weird headband ass

Can i ask if thinking that pre-PK kusuo spent his time sitting still as a stone and staring at nothing during his breaks bc he was overthinking (And maybe dissociating) too much ways to not be noticed and to not interact with people was an universal experience?

#Like i can think on his classmates entering the room at any time during the break and he being like🕴️ #Literally everytime #And then he only moving again as the bell ring or the teacher comes in #dumb dermy thoughts #saiki k #saiki kusuo no ψ nan #saiki #Kusuo

[arboreal-hiding]

Kusuo never uses restoration on himself because he lives with the constant fear that Kusuke will kill/injure him and he won’t be able to reverse time on his body a second time

#saiki no psi nan #saiki k #kusuo saiki #saiki headcanons #saiki kusuo #saiki kusuke #Saiki has fits of paranoia where he is hyper aware of all of the places cameras could be #because he knows Kusuke could watch him at any given time #I hate Kusuke so much y’all

[oceanwithouthermoon]

one of my favorite (/sarcastic but not really cuz its like funny idk) things in fandoms is when people make ocs or self inserts or 'x readers' being shipped with characters, but the oc/sona/reader is literally just another character from the source material.. its like youre shipping the characters but didnt want to admit it, so you made a kinsona and branded it as something else..

and its NEVER subtle, actually its super blatant every time and im always shocked when nobody points it out..

i have seen uncountable saiki k x readers where the description is like:

"saiki meets someone whose thoughts he cant read for the first time, and even though he doesnt trust her at first, she keeps proving that she is kind and has good intentions!" you mean nendo? reader is girl nendo?

"this time, he meets a girl whose thoughts honestly match up with her spoken words almost perfectly for the first time!" hairo. youre shipping saiki with girl hairo.

"saiki meets someone whose thoughts are too fast and jumbled to re-" ITS AKECHI, THATS AKECHI, ITS LITERALLY AKECHI.

"saiki meets someone whose just as immune to teruhashi as he is for the first and only tim-" this is hairo again, awe bae you secretly LOVE haisai ?!?

"saiki sees his old childhood friend for the first time in years after an incident caused them to be apart and then they fall in lov-" WHY DID YOU EVEN WRITE THIS AND NOT CALL IT SAIKECHI.

its even funnier when they say its like that characters little sister, but the way they write it is still literally just the character, like their personality, dialogue, even their relationship, is the same..

not all of them fit this exactly, but the ones that take a boy character and turn them into a girl oc to ship them with a boy, it reminds of how in equestria girls they couldnt make applejack and rarity endgame so they gave them boyfriends who looked IDENTICAL to each other.. thats what youre creating, guys, youre creating heterosexual rarijack.

#these r all very specific examples because ive seen all of them #MAKE UR KINSONAS SHAMELESSLY IF UR GONNA DO THIS BRO OMG #STOP PRETENDING ITS LIKE AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER IF UR JUST GONNA COPY IT ALL #i love kinsonas i would love to see actual kinsonas even if u structure them as 'x oc/reader' #none of these words are in the bible #say this to any not chronically online person and watch them short circuit #saiki k x reader fics are almost always like 'and then y/n SHATTERS TERUHASHIS EGO AND HUMBLES HER SO GOOD' ur sick in the head #x readers where they want to be the only person he likes and hes an asshole to everyone else also suck but- #people thinking he genuinely hates his friends is a phenomenon not exclusive to x readers lol its just far too common #sorry that was a side note #theyre not all bad #i dont even think the ones im talking about in the post are really bad- its just kinda dumb and silly #do what u want queens #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #meows post

ooh reading Asous thoughts on the anime is actually really interesting. also saiki flat affect REALLL

#does anyone know if he has any interviews or places he talks abour saiki k more in depth #i love his writing and im really interested to hear his thoughts on his own work and characters and stuff #also interesting that the fast pacing was something he didnt like at first #it was such a specific choice that i assumed he’d requested it #tdlosk #shuuichi asou

[tobisiksi]

i feel that kaido treats saiki with his first name in his mind

like he calls him kusuo in his head but he calls him saiki irl because he's too shy to ask for start using their first name

come on we already saw how saiki in kaido's imagination always calls him shun

he wants to start treating each other by their first name but he just doesn't know how to ask

and then there is nendo riki who refers to his best buddy by his first name but no one know (not even saiki himself) because he always refers to him as buddy or pal

the only one who knows is nendo's mom cuz riki always calls him ku when he tells how his day was to her

#i know that his post its filled with “call” “him” and “he” but my brain cant think of any synonyms rn #saiki k #the disastrous life of saiki k #kusuo saiki #nendo riki #kaido shun #nendo's mom mentioned #thinking thinking thinking #saiki kusuo no psi nan #saikis friends #❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Hngg, I love when characters have this plot where they're angry at an absent or neglecting parent, and it's all about that, but they never forget to always mention the parent who stepped up and raised them when they needed the other one the most.

#yellow talks #saiki k #saiki kusuo #fanfiction #fictional characters #saiki kusuo u silly little goose u love ur mama so much ur a mamas boy #tdlosk #the show which shows the main character actually caring for the parent who took care of them #and doesnt ignore it just for the viewers to be angry at his father #i know this isnt important to some insensitive people here lmfao but hes just that type of character to me #YES i know its a comedy and it doesnt have any drama but just ignore it bc its MY headcanon #<-have to add this shit in cus some sensitive ppl here actually take harmless posts sensitively
